Biographical Information
Roses and a faded photograph represent in this print a memory of an event and emotion that are part of the past, a past as fragile as the crushed paper that the roses are on and even appear to be composed of. An analogy of the transience of event and the ephemeral illusive quality of the emotion we call "love." (Comerford, 1987)
